Maine Man Missing For 6 Months May Have Been Spotted In Augusta

For months, there has been an ongoing search for a missing man from Norrdigewock.

Graham Lacher was last spotted leaving the Dorothea Dix Psychiatric Center on State Street in Bangor on June 6th, 2022.

Now, according to a Facebook post from his family, a man fitting his description was spotted on Civic Center Drive in Augusta several days ago.

The post explains that a man fitting his description was seen walking northbound on I-95 near the Augusta Civic Center exit late Thursday afternoon.  Also, a local police officer spotted a man fitting his description near the Route 3 rotary off I-95 around the same time.

The post also goes on to say:

Just received 2 more possible Augusta sightings. One woman thinks she may have seen him near one of the recovery centers by the rotary on Wednesday afternoon. Another saw a man resembling Graham on I-95 near the toll booth at the Augusta/Gardiner line around 7:30 pm Wednesday night.

He is described as being a white male who is 5’11” tall, and 265 lbs. with brown hair and blue eyes. Lacher suffers from mental illness and tends to avoid people. He has long brown hair, a long beard, glasses and was last seen wearing a gray jacket, gray/green Carhartt pants and an orange knit hat.  However, it is important to note that a DEEMI Search and Rescue volunteer recently found an orange hat with his name in it.

If you do see a man fitting his description, you should avoid approaching him.  Instead, call 911 to report the sighting.  The family also asks that you get a photo or video if possible and you report the sighting to this Facebook page
